The 2018 Kansas City Royals draft class is going to be one of the most important single draft classes in the history of the Kansas City Royals. With the Royals entering 2018 with one of the worst few farm systems in baseball, Kansas City rolled in the June Amateur Draft with four picks in the first 40 overall selections and five of the first 58. Furthermore, the Royals accrued 104 losses in 2018, tying for the second-worst campaign in franchise history.
